It's true that the game could be longer (there are only five levels, and three of them are required by law to be in every Gradius game), but partly compensating for that, the different "loops" of the game have different maps! Prior Gradius games, after you win, the game starts over at a harder difficulty on which the enemy's behavior changes. It might seem a little short, and it's based off of the classic titles more than more recent versions like IV, V and Gaiden, but the replayability is there, partly due to a long list of features that I've seen mentioned hardly anywhere on the Internet.
I've played a lot of this game over the past 48 hours, my play history for yesterday alone is over 10 hours, and I personally vouch for it. Although there have been a fee above-average reviews, the general consensus is "Eh, that happened." Yet oddly I've not seen much about the game around the web. This mode also the only one to feature leaderboards.I've been on a Gradius binge lately, and Rebirth came at just the right time for me. ReBirth features two modes: A standard single-player mode, that gives you unlimited credits (also known as, continues), and Score Attack, which gives you only one credit to beat the game with. Bosses may change behavior or physical appearance after a certain amount of damage has been dealt to them. The way to defeat these foes is to "shoot the core," which the game reminds you to do at the beginning of each battle. The bosses, considered to be one of the highlights of the series, are all new (unlike the levels).

And as always, you can upgrade your ship in various ways via the "Power Meter," by using capsules that enemies drop upon vanquishing them. Like previous installments, ReBirth tasks you with navigating various enemy filled environments by shooting everything in sight. Players reprise the role of James Burton, Gradian pilot of the Vic Viper, as he combats a new Bacterian threat after the planet Antichthon falls silent (with its mother computer hacked).Īs of January 30, 2019, the game can no longer be acquired due to the closure of the Wii Shop Channel. The game's story is set in the Gradian Year 6664, two years before the events of Nemesis 2.
#Gradius rebirth gameplay series#
The first in Konami's ReBirth trilogy (which also includes Contra ReBirth and Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth), Gradius ReBirth is a deliberately-retro re-imagining of the Gradius series, combining classic gameplay mechanics from earlier games in the series while including synthesized rearrangements of the series' musical tracks. Gradius ReBirth is a 2D sci-fi fantasy side-scrolling shoot-'em-up developed by M2 and published digitally by Konami for the Wii in Japan on September 2, 2008, in North America on March 9, 2009, and in Europe on July 3, 2009.
